Celebrity Big Brother: Season Premiere Blog Party

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating and live-blogging away the best I can. Refresh the post to get the latest news! For more information on how I'll be handling this season on the blog as well as the show schedule, check my last post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!

Since the season is so short, I'm not going to have a blog pool going for this one. 

Not sure if big boxy red dresses are best for Julie Chen. We're into the intros. Metta World Peace hasn't a clue about the show.  Man, they're dragging this out. Brandi, Metta, Ross, Mark, Ari go in first.

Shannon is a BB superfan. Hmm. Marissa's SON is the BB superfan. Omarosa is also a self-proclaimed BB superfan.

Finally, 20 minutes into the hour-long show, all the celeb hamsters are in the house. Interesting ... Shannon and Marissa are friends outside the house.

Brandi doesn't like "pretty boys." And Pretty Boy James doesn't like her.

Shannon and Omarosa scheme for a womens alliance along with Marissa. They go after the other women to join in. There are six women and five men. They have the numbers.

HoH competition! They're all dressed in tuxes. Award to "sexiest hg not on the block" -- it's a random pick by where one chooses to stand. Omarosa wins safety for the week and cannot compete.

Award Squeezin' - must squeeze hug their trophies, hang on tight. It's kind of like the hot dog holding comps in the past. The trophies raise. They're wearing goggles -- I'm anticipating a reason for that. 

Oh geez, it's into a song and dance around them with Paul, then Rachel, Jess and Cody in the audience. No, Paul can't sing. Eek. Jesse, Mr. Pectacular.

Marissa falls.

Then the rain starts.  Metta is out. 

Now goop is on them. Mark is down. Ross is out. Chuck is down. Ari is down. Keshia is down, then Brandi.

James tries for a deal with Shannon even though he's the shakier of the remaining two hanging. James slips! 

Shannon is the first HoH of the season!

They have to go into the house and each needs to grab a gift bag. And, we get a commercial. 

Julie tells them that Shannon is HOH for now. Someone's bag will allow them to recast and take over the role of HoH. And, it's "goodnight houseguests."
